I would call it a problem with the hybrid battery controller ability to work with my driving pattern and not a problem with my driving pattern. Obviously there are at least three of us that have these same driving patterns. If I drove off a cliff I bet the Nissan would be able to brag about that great milage. I don't have anyplace to go that requires more than a 10 mile drive before I stop. and In Scottsdale we can rarely go 45 miles per hr. Most posted limits are 35 and the traffic is thick and it is all city streets. We go to Grocery stores, resturants, Shopping malls and thats about it. I didn't know I needed to move from the urban city to a rual setting to agree with the patterns of the NAH system

I think it needs a Diesel and a Li-Po battery and a different controller one that adapts to the driving habits of the owner. We have many automatic transmissions that learn the habits of the driver and also even the Nissan Murano "learns" the fuel management system ecu. I also think that a PLUG would help me especially since I drive short distances and a double size battery would be good also.

So while I get your point I don't argure with it but I reject the lack excellence of the engineering that has designed it so poorly.
